Prepare yourself for this easy sugar-free nutty granola - coconut free. You and your kids will love this granola as a healthy breakfast or nutrient-rich snack.
Important Note: This recipe is not intended to be allergen-free. This recipe is free from desiccated/shredded coconut for those readers who dislike coconut flavours and those who dislike the texture of desiccated/shredded coconut. Many readers have requested grain-free granola that does not taste of coconut or contain coconut flakes or pieces that many low-carb granola recipes contain. The recipe below uses coconut oil. If you wish this to be completely free of coconut, then you may wish to use another oil that you can tolerate in its place.
Nutty Granola - Coconut Free
Finding a good sugar-free, gluten-free, and coconut-free nutty granola at the store can be an expensive challenge. The good news is that granola is extremely easy to make at home and can be tailored to your taste.
Nutty granola is made with a variety of nuts and seeds that will give you a nice serving of healthy fats, omegas, and protein. Since a variety of nuts and seeds can get pricy I like to get my nuts and seeds from the bulk section at the store. This allows me to purchase only what I need of a nut or seed I do not use regularly.
Finally ... an easy healthy sugar-free nutty granola - coconut free. It's also gluten-free and your kids will LOVE it. Say goodbye to sugary granola forever!Baking Nutty Granola
To make the granola mix together the melted coconut oil, your sweetener of choice, and some cinnamon. Then spread your nuts and seeds out on a baking sheet. Pour the coconut oil mixture over your nuts and seed, then mix the granola until all the seeds and nuts are coated.
Place the granola in your preheated oven and bake for up to 20 minutes. You will want to mix and turn the granola every five minutes when baking to keep it from burning. When the granola is done you will want to let it cool completely before storing it.

Storing Nutty Granola
Since there is no dairy or eggs in your sugar-free granola it can be stored in an airtight container in the pantry. However, if you are in a hot climate, you may wish to store your grain-free granola in the refrigerator or even in the freezer.
The granola will last in the pantry for up to two weeks, 2-4 weeks in the refrigerator, and up to a year in the freezer.
Nutty Granola - Coconut Free
Your entire family will love this granola for breakfast or a quick snack. After you try it if you decide you want to double the recipe because you know your family will eat it quickly.
I would recommend baking the granola on two separate baking trays so that it cooks evenly. Enjoy!
